Sounds like a pretty lovely time was had by all. I was just reading below what @LarkandLegend said about Madeline Miller working on Persephone's story -- super excited about that as I've been working with the Tarot of Persephone's Garden and love that story. Thanks for sharing your May faves!

I would love Madeline Miller’s take on Persephone’s story!! SO looking forward to that! 💖💖💖

Soooo much agreement with Juli on preferring Circe to Song of Achilles. Like by a mile lol. I super appreciate that SoA is a retelling that finally offers the much needed, super obvious (imo) queer lens for that myth, but the prose and narration in Circe are just so much easier to fall into. Imo anyway. Oh! Did y’all know Madeline Miller is working on a Persephone retelling now? Has this come up before? So excited! The mental image of just so, so, too many plants in Sarah’s plant deck duo readings, also 🤣 Also super intrigued by that first indie horror read from Heather! Indie publishing, just as a concept, totally fascinates me. And ANY book or movie that shares DNA w Event Horizon? Sign me up lol. Also I am so jealous that you audioread Jurassic Park! That’s been on my list for ages because the film is also SUCH nostalgic gold for me. All those scenes you mentioned, plus the raptors in the kitchen. Love it. Fantastic lol

I haven’t read Song of Achilles but it’s been on my list since Circe…but I have also just been put off by the fact that Achilles has been one of my least favorite characters in Greek mythology literally since reading the Iliad in high school. Love the idea of a queer lens on the story but I still always found that dude wildly annoying. 🤣 But a Persephone retelling, now THAT I can get excited about!! Jurassic Park is so great…after we filmed this episode I rewatched it again recently and it’s incredible how well that film holds up. Those 30-year-old special effects still look shockingly good!!
